2025 Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Porter has established himself as a strong corner over his first two professional seasons, and he should retain a starting job as an outside cornerback in 2025, even after the Steelers brought in Darius Slay and Jalen Ramsey. Porter played at least 95 percent of Pittsburgh's defensive snaps in 15 of his 16 regular-season appearances last year and logged 70 tackles (53 solo), an interception and seven pass defenses. Porter will maintain a significant role in Pittsburgh's secondary this year. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $9.62 million contract with the Steelers in July of 2023.
Plays nine snaps Thursday
Porter (hand) played nine defensive snaps during Thursday's preseason win over the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
Porter had and the first-team defense had their reps limited Thursday, so he and fellow starting cornerbacks Darius Slay (ankle) and Jalen Ramsey were all limited to just nine snaps. That activity confirms, though, that Porter has fully recovered from the hand injury that hampered him earlier in training camp. Pittsburgh's secondary unit looks like one of the best in the league and is slated to enter Week 1 against the Jets on Sunday, Sept. 7 in good health.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Porter was a second-round pick by the Steelers last year and showed some promise, appearing in all 17 games and totaling 43 tackles (32 solo), an interception and 10 pass defenses. He was on the field for at least 90 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the final 10 games of the regular season, and he should enter the 2024 campaign as Pittsburgh's top option at cornerback after Patrick Peterson was let go during the offseason.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Confident entering second year
Porter believes he is the best cornerback in the league, Eric Edholm of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Porter was asked to name the best corners in the league and began with himself, before also listing the likes of Sauce Gardner, Patrick Surtain, Jaire Alexander and Denzel Ward. Porter's logic was based on the strength of his assignments, as he was consistently tasked with shadowing the opposing team's top wide receiver as a rookie. His claim would certainly be debated by most, but he'll enter his sophomore year with confidence -- a key for playing his position.
